HAMILTON COUNTY YOUTH PASSES AWAY

Edward Peterson, Son of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Peterson, of Stanhope, Succumbs

Edward Peterson, 17-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred [Clara Matilda Ehn] Peterson of Stanhope, passed away at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon at Mercy hospital following a four days' illness with peritonitis. The young man was brought to the hospital Saturday evening and the remains were taken to the family home, one and a half miles northeast of Stanhope, Sunday evening.

Edward Julius Peterson was born and reared in Hamilton county, and is survived by his parents, two sisters and two brothers. The sudden and untimely death of this promising young man is sad, indeed.
